A New Jersey man who used his Islamic organization’s Web site to advocate violence against those whose ideals he found offensive to his religion was sentenced Friday to two and a half years in prison — a modest term that a federal judge said he imposed so people would “understand the line” between free speech and criminal calls for violence.

Yousef al-Khattab, 45, renounced his postings during the hearing in federal court in Alexandria, asking district Judge Liam O’Grady to hold him responsible only “for what I say, not how other people understood it.”

Derisively calling himself a “clown” and “the Gilbert Gottfried of the Muslims,” al-Khattab said he did not intend to incite violence but would not make the postings today that he did years ago.

“I look back now, and I’m very wrong,” al-Khattab said.

Gilbert Gottfried is rolling over in his grave right now. He is dead, right?

Anyway, I have no idea if Joey feels actual regret for trying to get his readers to kill his own people -- Jews (with apologies to our Hebrew friend, but the guy was at least born Jewish)-- or if he feels that sorrow of getting caught and then having to face the consequences of his actions. I honestly don't know. At least in his public personae, he did undergo a change over the past four years or so since he and Jesse "Younes Abdullah" Morton, co-founder of Revolution Muslim, broke up.

Here's the thing about Joey that maybe he doesn't even realize about himself. Even after he and Morton parted ways and Yousef embraced a more moderate version of Islam, he remained a supporter of terrorism. It's just that, like many other "moderate" Muslims, he defined terrorism in such a way as to exclude acts of violence against "Zionists" and US soldiers.

And remember, he defended nuking Israel and praising Nidal Hassan afterCNN ran a story about how the "former radical" had found true religion and had moderated.

But, who knows, maybe he's moderated even more since then? Maybe now he only supports Nidal Hassan and instead of nuking Israel would now be content with merely rounding all the Jews in the Levant up, putting them in concentration camps, and confiscating their property.

A very moderate position compared to his former genocidal tendencies.

So, while we will miss the not-so-friendly rivalry that existed for the past decade between the staff at The Jawa Report and the now completely incarcerated staff at Revolution Muslim, for the most part we will be doing the M.C. Hammer dance.

OMFG!!!! Joey "Yousef al Khattab" Cohen, one of the founder of the now defunct Revolution Muslim website, has pleaded guilty of making online threats!

Praise Allah!

Longtime readers of The Jawa Report -- and now we're talking way, way back -- will remember Joey and his Revolution Muslim website as being one of the key mouthpieces for Islamist radicalism in the US. The website long denounced the US and praised the violent Islamists we were fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq as freedom fighters. On more than one occasion the website praised Osama bin Laden. They even praised Nidal Hasan after the homegrown terrorist had committed mass murder at Ft. Hood.

Khattab mocks the victims of 9/11

Many former authors and readers of the website have been convicted in terrorism related cases. Those include the other founder of the website Jesse "Younes Abdullah" Morton who was convicted of threatening the creators of South Park and Zachary "Abu Talhah al-Amrikee" Chesser for attempting to join the al Qaeda linked al Shabaab in Somalia. Others affiliated with the website and its owners include Carlos Almonte and Mohamed Hamoud Alessa, both of whom were also convicted of attempting to join al Shabaab, but the former is more famously known for his "Death to all Juice" sign.

Another little known connection between the Revolution Muslim crowd and terror is that it is very likely that Nidal Hasan himself was a reader of the website. Duane Reasoner, a confidant of Nidal Hasan in the months leading up to Ft. Hood, was a fan of Revolution Muslim who had sometimes commented on the website and on the group's YouTube page. Evidence suggests that Hasan himself also was a registered user of the Revolution Muslim website. The screenshot above suggests just that as Nidal Hasan was known for using the "Slave of Allah" slang to describe himself in other contexts.

But my glee at Joey's conviction is more than just the general one of a patriot happy that a supporter of our enemies is going to jail, it's personal. Al-Khattab and myself have what you'd call a history. If Samir Khan -- a now deceased member of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula who was also personally acquainted with Cohen -- was my first online nemesis, then Joey "Yousef al-Khattab" Cohen was my second. In fact, Khattab first came to my attention because long before Samir Khan fled the US for the comfort of Anwar al-Awlaki's car (where he was droned) he had Khattab blogrolled on his now defunct Inshallahshaheed site.

Here is a screencap from one of Khattab's early videos. In it, Yousef makes light of Daniel Pearl's murder by al Qaeda. Yes, those are Tusken Raiders (Sand People) as al Qaeda. Joey got the idea from a post I did way back when I started this website. He was not only provoking supporters of Pearl and enemies of al Qaeada everywhere, he was provoking me personally. Notice the Jawa.

The two of us went back and forth for years until, one by one, friends and fans of Revolution Muslim began to go to jail. Eventually Khattab fled the US and landed in Morocco where he stayed for a few years. He eventually came back to the US, enrolled in college, and declared himself a changed man. He even went on CNN to talk about his "former" radicalism. CNN described this new Khattab as a "moderate".

Except, as we showed here, he was lying. He still was a radical. He still wanted to do things like nuke Israel.

Khattab the "moderate" reaffirms his stance on nuking Israel

The history is too long and storied to go on in the time I have today. Let's leave it at that and move on to the story. But first, this photo summary of what Khattab thought of me:

A New Jersey man who prosecutors say used his Islamic Web site to advocate violence against those whose ideals he found offensive to his religion pleaded guilty Wednesday to using the Internet to put another in fear of death or injury, admitting that he posted material supportive of various terrorist attacks and hinted that his followers should target a Jewish organization in Brooklyn.

Yousef Mohamid al-Khattab, 45, an American-born man with dual citizenship in Israel, told a federal judge in Virginia that he wrote the posts “out of my stupidity.” Yet he vigorously disagreed with prosecutors’ assertion that he intended to incite violence.

And that, my friends, is what they call grade-A bullshit! If Khattab never intended to hurt anybody, then why did he inspire so many people to join terrorist groups? If he never meant to hurt anybody, then why did he post the names and addresses of Jewish activists in NY?

[UPDATE: Oh, yeah, we have a screenshot thanks to Howie]

Screenshot of post in which Khattab urged retribution against Jews in NY for Israeli military actions against Palestinian terrorists

It's the same thing his co-founder Jesse "Younes Abdullah Muhammad" Morton claimed when he was arrested for threatening Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Morton and accomplice Zachary Chesser made threatening statements coupled with directions and maps to Parker and Stone's house!

Having followed Khattab's antics for years and talked with him on the phone there are a lot of words that come to mind when describing him: traitor, jerk, cad, Islamist, etc -- but stupid is not one of them.

Joey knew what he was doing when he posted the names and addresses of those he opposed. One of his fans was responsible for the largest terror attack on US soil since 9/11 ... what did he think was going to happen?

So, goodbye Yousef, I can't say you'll be missed. He faces up to five years in jail and I hope the judge sentences him to the max. If he does, he'll have five hears to contemplate where his life went so wrong -- from Judaism to Islamic fundamentalism. He'll also have five years to watch out for his cornhole.

And on that note, we'll end this post with yet another, possibly more apt photo, of Khattab contemplating just that.

Yousef al Khattab contemplates his cornhole

UPDATE: After reading Youseff's Facebook feed I realized that he is not in jail while he awaits the sentencing. He's a free man (for now).

So, we'll have at least one more post on Yousef. I'll save MC Hammer for that one.

February 28, 2012

The Internet and social media are integral ingredients in the rapid radicalization of homegrown terrorists, said a staff study by the Senate homeland security committee that recommended a coordinated government response to counter online radical propaganda and help communities intervene in the radicalization process.

The report, released on Feb. 27 by the staff of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, was based on the close study of the personal writings of Zachary Chesser, the Bristow, VA man now serving a 25-year sentence for threatening the writers of the South Park television show, soliciting violent jihadists to desensitize law enforcement, and attempting to provide material support to Al-Shabaab.

The study also provides some unique detail into Chesser’s motivations and personality.

The Senate staff said Chesser’s case was a classic case study of how quickly online radicalization can occur compared to the traditional process of face to face contact between an aspirant and an established terrorist group.

February 13, 2012

Joseph "Yousef al Khattab" Cohen is throwing his crucial support behind Ron Paul. Khattab, a one time supporter of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda and the co-founder of the Revolution Muslim group which has been linked to scores of convicted terrorists, now claims that he's seen the light and no longer supports such violent groups.

In addition, his YouTube channel is running a "Will you be supporting Ron Paul" poll.

In another video, he describes himself as a "libertarian in the United States" and Ron Paul supporter. In it, he says that a Ron Paul administration would stop funding the "terrorists" -- meaning Israel.

In the video Khattab laments US foreign policy, its war crimes, and support of the "enemy Zionist entity". He also claims he believes he will be arrested for his role in radicalizing scores of domestic terrorists.

Doesn't this just about sum up Ron Paul's candidacy and the kooks that seem to be attracted to him?

The video brings up a question that I've been going back and forth with others for awhile. Joey began to distance himself with the Revolution Muslim gang just about the same time that those in his circle of friends began to be implicated in various terrorist plots.

I've also pointed out that if you listen to Yousef closely, you'll detect that he actually supports many of the former positions that some have said he's distanced himself from. For instance, in the video above when he talks about his love for the First Amendment, but caveated with the notion that free speech wouldn't be something he supported in Muslim lands.

My argument has been that Yousef is just a coward who doesn't want to go to jail, so he's changed his public opinions so he can keep free. And that those positions haven't changed nearly as much as some believe.

Seriously, any long time reader knows that our very personal feud with Younes Abdullah Muhammed, Yousef al-Khattab, and the rest of the gang at Revolution Muslim goes way back. Waaaaay, back. And that this feud became very personal over the years, including Jawa themed video tributes to murdering hostages by the gang at Revolution Muslim dedicated to us. Howie should be even more happy as Joey "Yousef al-Khattab" Cohen's ire was generally directed toward me, Younes Abdullah Muhammad had a special disdain for Howie.

And remember the time we had Joey on our short-lived radio show? Ahhh, good times, good times.

We've been calling for their arrest for years, and noting the very real and personal connections the group has with terrorists. Some of these connections are listed below. For instance, the personal relationship that Younes had with Samir Khan, the now dead al Qaeda propagandist. Samir, Younes, and Yousef were personal friends, not just online buddies.

Pictured above is an image of Zachary Chesser in front of the White House. Chesser was convicted of trying to join the al Qaeda linked al Shabaab group in Somalia. And standing next to Chesser in the photo? That's right, Jesse "Younes Abdullah Muhammad" Morton.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Jesse Curtis Morton, aka Younus Abdullah Muhammed, 33, of New York City, pled guilty today to using his position as a leader of Revolution Muslim Organization’s internet sites to conspire to solicit murder, make threatening communications and use the internet to place others in fear.

Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia; James W. McJunkin, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office; and Raymond W. Kelly, New York City Police Commissioner, made the announcement after the plea was accepted by United States District Judge Liam O’Grady.

Morton faces a maximum penalty five years in prison for each of the three charges when he is sentenced on May 18, 2012.

“Jesse Morton operated Revolution Muslim to radicalize those who saw and heard his materials online and to incite them to engage in violence against those they believed to be enemies of Islam,” said U.S. Attorney MacBride. “We may never know all of those who were inspired to engage in terrorism because of Revolution Muslim, but the string of recent terrorism cases with ties to Morton’s organization demonstrates the threat it posed to our national security. We’re grateful to the FBI, NYPD and their law enforcement partners throughout the world who made today’s conviction possible.”

“Individuals such as Morton who encourage violence and create fear over the internet are a danger to our society and to the freedoms we enjoy as citizens,” said Assistant Director in Charge McJunkin. “Today’s plea, and other recent cases of those associated with Morton’s organization, demonstrate the widespread nature of this danger. Together with our partner law enforcement agencies, and with the assistance of the community, the FBI will continue to pursue those who promulgate violent extremism and promote the radicalization of others."

“Fortunately , NYPD Intelligence Division detectives were in a position to learn exactly how Morton used the internet to conspire to solicit murder, and how he encouraged others to solicit the murder of an artist whose material he deemed offensive,” said Police Commissioner Kelly. “This important plea resulted because the NYPD’s monitoring of Morton’s activities, combined with the investigative and prosecutorial expertise of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney for Eastern District of Virginia, made for a strong case, in addition to a strong partnership.”

According to a statement of facts filed with his plea agreement, Morton founded Revolution Muslim in December 2007 and created various online forums that contained postings and information supportive of violent extremism. Morton and his associates used the organization’s websites to encourage Muslims to engage in violence against those they believed to be enemies of Islam and to support Osama bin Laden, Anwar Al-Awlaki, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and others espousing violence. They posted messages in support of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the November 2009 killings at Ft. Hood and attacks and future threats against Jewish organizations, among others.

Through his online forums, Morton conspired with Zachary Chesser, of Fairfax County, Va., and others to solicit the murder of an artist tied to the “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” movement in May 2010, including posting online a magazine that included the artist in a hit list for violent extremists to take out and a message from Anwar Al-Awlaki that explicitly called for the artist’s assassination. In justifying these actions, Morton posted online a speech of his asserting that “Islam’s position is that those that insult the Prophet may be killed” and exhorting his listeners to fight the “disbelievers near you.”

In addition, Morton admitted through his statement of facts that he aided Chesser in taking repeated steps in April 2010 to encourage violent extremists to attack the writers of South Park for an episode that featured Muhammad in a bear suit, including highlighting their residence and urging online readers to “pay them a visit.” Among the steps they took were posting on multiple occasions speeches by Anwar Al-Awlaki, which explained the Islamic justification for killing those who insult or defame Muhammad. Morton worked with Chesser to draft a message for the website regarding the South Park threats, including a quote from Osama bin Laden that “If there is no check in the freedom of your words, then let your hearts be open to the freedom of our actions.” Morton and Chesser posted the final version of this statement on various extremist online forums, and Chesser told Morton that he expected the statement would “scare the kuffar.” Kuffar is an Arabic term, referring to an unbeliever, or disbeliever, in Islam.

Chesser was arrested on July 21, 2010, charged with providing material support to Al-Shabaab and later also pled guilty to communicating threats and soliciting violent extremists to desensitize law enforcement. Four days after Chesser’s arrest, Morton fled to Morocco, where he resided until his arrest on U.S. charges on May 26, 2011.

In his statement of facts, Morton admitted that the Revolution Muslim websites contained the writings of and/or contributed to the radicalization of individuals who were inclined to engage in violence, including the following:

Samir Khan, previously of Charlotte, N.C., before moving to Yemen in 2009, was authorized by Morton to post materials on Revolution Muslim, and Morton provided Khan with two articles for the first two online editions of Jihad Recollections, an online magazine dedicated to violent extremism. In July 2010, Morton posted the first edition of Inspire magazine, an English-language magazine supporting al-Qaeda that Morton believed to be the product of Khan. The magazine included an eight-page article titled “Make a bomb in the kitchen of Your Mom,” with detailed instructions regarding the construction of an explosive device.

Bilal Zaheer Ahmad, of the United Kingdom, was provided the password to Revolution Muslim by Morton and given permission to post messages. In November 2010, Ahmad praised Roshonara Choundhry for attempting to kill a British member of Parliament over his support for the Iraq war and posted a list of 383 members of Parliament who had voted for the Iraq war, along with suggestions on how to get in to see them and a link to a store selling a weapon similar to that used in Choundhry’s attack. Ahmad told Morton that the purpose of the post was to “make those MPs fearful.”

Abdel Hameed Shehedah, a former resident of Staten Island, N.Y., who was charged in October 2010 of making false statements involving his alleged attempt to travel to Pakistan to join a fighting group such as the Taliban. The statement of facts states that Shehedah attended Revolution Muslim meetings, made his website, civiljihad.com, a feeder site for Revolution Muslim and eventually arranged for all visitors to his website be routed automatically to Revolution Muslim.com.

Rezwan Ferdaus, of Ashland, Mass., was charged in September 2011 with plotting to attack the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol using large remote controlled aircraft filled with C-4 plastic explosives. The statement of facts states that in February 2010, Ferdaus emailed Morton asking for counsel regarding his duties as a Muslim and whether martyrdom operations were proper practice. Morton replied that martyrdom operations must be judged by intention but can have “enormous benfits (sic) in a war of attrition.”

Colleen R. LaRose, aka “Jihad Jane,” of Montgomery County, Pa., was charged in March 2010 with a variety of terrorism-related offenses, including plotting to kill Lars Vilks, a Swedish cartoonist who has been the subject of several murder threats based on his artwork depicting Muhammad. According to the statement of facts, Morton notified Sheikh Abdullah Faisal, a Muslim cleric convicted in the United Kingdom of soliciting murder, that LaRose was a subscriber to Revolution Muslim YouTube accounts.

Antonio Benjamin Martinez, of Baltimore, Md., was arrested and charged with plotting to bomb a military recruiting station in December 2010. The statement of facts states that one month prior to his arrest, Martinez viewed a video of Osama bin Laden and multiple terror training camp video clips on the Revolution Muslim website.

Jose Pimental, of New York City, was arrested and charged in November 2011 in connection with a plot to build and use a bomb to assassinate members of the U.S. military returning from active duty in Afghanistan. According to the statement of facts, Pimental contacted Morton saying that he was a big fan of Revolution Muslim, and that Morton recommended that Pimentel stay away from an individual because “there is high probability that he is working for the FBI.”

Mohamed Hamoud Alessa and Carlos Eduardo Almonte, both of New Jersey, were arrested in June 2010 on their way to Somalia to join a terrorist organization to kill individuals whose beliefs and practices did not accord with their ideology. The statement of facts states that both Alessa and Almonte were associates of Morton’s within the Revolution Muslim organization, and Morton was interviewed by investigators from the New York City Police Department on the day of their arrest.

This investigation is being conducted by the FBI’s Washington Field Office and the New York Police Department’s Intelligence Division. Assistant United States Attorneys Gordon D. Kromberg and Karen L. Dunn of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia and Trial Attorney John T. Gibbs of the Counterterrorism Section in the National Security Division are prosecuting the case on behalf of the United States.

Jesse Morton, a convert to Islam also known as Younus Abdullah Mohammad, plans to appear in federal court in Alexandria, Va., on Thursday, his lawyer told Politico.
He will plead guilty to conspiracy, communicating threats, and internet stalking, Politico reported. Each felony carries a sentence of up to five years in prison.

UPDATED/Bumped Nov 11, 2011: Ha, I didn't notice this part at the end of the MEMRI report. It notes a flame war going on in the comments section of Yousef's support #OWS video. In it, one of Yousef's former friends who still hangs out at the Islamic Awakening forum has it out with him. And we get a mention:

YousefRants: "I suggest that you make Mubahala on your theory since you have posted it on IA [ed: Islamic Awakening Forum]. That is the best way to conclude. So to sum up in reality the whole RM [ed: Revolution Muslim] amirship that Younes [ed: Younes Abdullah Muhammad, the jailed co-founder of Revolution Muslim] asked me to take when I did not want it was a mistake. The soldier video and repost of the Tuskin Raiders [ed note: He actually thought the Daniel Pearl beheading video was funny. Here's the post on the video] both were done b4 RM & I had told Younes I was to high profile & flamboyant for his academic message. The author of the Juice is a member of IA forum and very well respected in ur circles. I suggest u troll him" ...

[ed: Vidcap from Daniel Pearl/Tusken Raiders video. Notice the jawa?]

YousefRants: "I remember and still have the the Liberty movie picture with me smiling (not illegal),Tee Juice was your buddy from Queens and another young man that held similar views as you. I have a pic of me with a knife to a box of Jooz brand Orange Juice (not illegal), the mocking of a occupation soldier was me and that was pre RM and that was not illegal, the Daniel Pearl video I found on Youtube and reposted it the original is still up today (not illegal). The JDO [ed: Jewish Defense Organization] & Jawa never scared me."

AbdulMumeet1970: "so you dont remember posing in﻿ front of a picture of the statue of liberty being cut with an axe while having a sarcastic smile on your face or the so called "Kill the Juice" nonsense and your low budget Daniel Pearl mockery, I dont think the ADL liked that one, .Oh how can i forget how you tortured a doll pretending it was an American soldier. Come on man, :) looks like the JDO and Jawa really spooked you out. Some mujahid you were. Maybe you should have behaved yourself"

October 21, 2011

Today's specimen is Abu Hadeed (shown here using his Youtube nickname). All jihobist like him try to strong arm you into accepting their rhetoric and most end up in jail where they believe they are the 'aseerun'. Anyway he is begging to make his point public so I will give him a platform. Interesting is the amount of times in his posts that he insults Khaleeji Arabs and uses terms like greasy & slimy. Seems to be a classic case of self hate,failure and blame it on the kuffar. You be the judge and don't forget to join his network,because indeed birds of a feather flock together.

I knew Joey would see it our way.

Since Yousef had his falling out with the Jihad community they have turned their hatred against him as well. As they say politics make strange bedfellows.

In fact I'm of the opinion that even though I don't trust Yousef any further than I can throw him, his knowledge and expertise would be invaluable in the fight against terrorism and the spread of al-Qaeda propaganda.

We keep our focus tight here, for the most part we only direct our ire at known designated terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and those who advocate for murder and terrorism against civilians. Civilians just like Joey.

Federal authorities are using words uttered by the co-founder of a radical Islamic group to charge him with threats against the creators of "South Park."

A criminal complaint alleging the communication of threats was filed in Virginia late last week against Jesse Curtis Morton, also known as Younus Abdullah Mohammad.

A senior law enforcement source Thursday told CNN, which interviewed Morton in 2009, that the suspect is believed to be in Morocco, where he maintains Islampolicy.com, an English-language website propagating pro al Qaeda views.

That website is a successor to Revolutionmuslim.com.

I really can't report that enough.

And a note to Younes at Islampolicy: Why don't you answer my emails? Cat got your tongue? And there all this time we thought Yousef was the big fat pussy in your group. But now we know it's you.

May 17, 2011

Both Josesph Cohen (aka Yousef al-Khattab) and Jesse Norton (aka Younes Abdullah Mohammed) find Morocco a good place to hide out when the heat is on them here in the states. Especially now, eh Jesse? Arrested yet?

Sheikh Zamzami said that the husband has the right to have sex with his dead wife. He added that the husband may wash the body of his dead wife and have sex with her. He said that the woman also has the same right but failed to explain how a woman can manage to perform sex with the corps of her dead husband.

Maybe Mrs Khattab will one day say "F**K you, I have a deadache"

Update By DMartyr: Some of you may find this fatwa outrageous, but there is mention of the topic in the Hadith. Not just necrophilia, but also using dead animals for sexual pleasure.

May 16, 2011

A second man has been charged in connection with threats made last year against the producers of the Comedy Central program "South Park."

Jesse Curtis Morton, (aka Younus Abdullah Mohammad) is charged with communicating threats. Morton helped run a website, RevolutionMuslim, with Zachary Chesser. Chesser is serving a 25-year prison term after pleading guilty to a similar charge and to trying to provide material support to the Somali terrorist group al-Shabaab.

After a "South Park" episode in April 2010 mocked the violent reaction of radical Islamists by portraying the Prophet Mohammad covered by a bear suit, Chesser posted a statement warning producers Matt Stone and Trey Parker that they "will probably wind up like Theo van Gogh for airing this show."

Van Gogh was a Dutch filmmaker who was killed on an Amsterdam street after producing a short film protesting the treatment of women in Islam.

According to an affidavit from FBI Special Agent Paula Menges, Chesser then collaborated with Morton on a "clarification statement" triggered by media inquiries.

"The Clarification Statement contained pages of justification under Islamic law for the death of those who insult Islam or defame its prophet, and for Muslims to bring about such deaths," Menges wrote. "In it, Morton and Chesser asserted in pertinent part that 'we will never tolerate the mocking or insulting of any one of the prophets,' and explained that the Islamic ruling on this situation was that 'the punishment is death.'"

Though the statement indicated they were not inciting violence, it included a quote from Osama bin Laden that threatened those responsible for Danish cartoons depicting Mohammad with "the freedom of our actions" as payback for their free speech.

That, Menges wrote, crosses the line between protected speech and conveying a threat because it warned Stone and Parker they "would be on the receiving end of actions analogous to those of bin Laden if they refused to change their ways."

The clarification statement included a picture of Van Gogh's body after a stranger killed him "for making a film that was perceived to have insulted Islam." Even if they were not making a direct threat, their statement posted on radical Islamist websites could inspire others to act. "[B]y issuing that statement, they certainly knew that violence was likely to be incited by it anyway."

It is time to shame facebook for their continued inactivity in preventing terrorists from using their platform! It is time to publicly call them out. There are many of us who spend our individual free time "reporting" pages, to no avail. Facebook must do a better job of keeping terrorists and their supporters from using facebook to promote their agendas and activities! Please help.

Well the good boys at al-Buruj, no wait I PWNED that site, I mean Revolution Muslim, no wait that was effing owned too. Ahh the boys at Shariah 4 America. Their new "more moderate blog" are calling for the destruction of Lady Liberty again.

Which proves that the more things change, the more they stay the same. The graphic is from Yousef al-Khattab and Younis Abdullah Muhammad's old al-Buruj site.

When someone is pounding Anjem Choudary’s face into the pavement during tomorrow’s protest in front of the White House, please make sure they tell him this isn’t the UK, we don’t celebrate multiculturalism.

Shariah4America.com: In Islam, the public veneration of idols and statues is strictly prohibited. This has forced sincere Muslims to develop realistic plans that will aid in the removal of the Statue of Liberty.

Due to the scale of the task at hand, it is highly likely that rigorous safety checks will need to be employed before the demolition of the Statue of Liberty can commence; thus as a temporary measure, it is proposed that a large burkha is used to cover the statue, thereby shielding this horrendous eye sore from public view as well as sending a strong message to its French creators.

Well now that the morons from Islam4UK have taken over Revmo they are running the same old tired ideas they stole from Yousef al-Khattab because he's the only one with even half a brain.

Our official opinion, even if lady liberty is French, we like her and she'll come down over our cold dead bodies.

F*ck Shariah 4 America.

UPDATE by SH: Anjem Choudary is a no show, cites security concerns[video]. He left out TSA...like in no fly list.

Update: Via Ed Driscoll there is some evidence that this is just site is parody. I would say look over the site for yourself and, well, given what I know about the ridiculousness of radical Islam, it’s hard to know. For instance on this page they call off a proposed march. But on the other hand, on this page they discuss the Islamic definition for pedophilia, which is death. But then they suggest they do it by impaling them on top of the Washington Monument. Which sounds crazy, but, um… have you ever watched Memri for a week? Have you ever seen respected Egyptian academics suggest that Mossad is controlling sharks? Its really hard to know satire from reality with them.

So, I think the right answer is to classify this as a dubious story. Certainly I cannot stand behind it any longer. And it proves you can’t satirize something that is already ridiculous.

Yeah I know, it seems almost too surreal. For sure the site is designed to "get a rise out of the infidels".

But to be serious for a minute. Time and time again members of this specific social network, and also closely connected to various other branches of this network, have been proven to b e criminals, died in or committed acts of terrorism in the meat world, traveled abroad to join al-Qaeda etc, etc, etc.

That is to say that members of this network and even the network itself has had proven real world results that are not so funny.

We have as much fun making fun of the Jihadis as anyone. But I've an example of those real world results for those who would brush this off as totally ridiculous.

This comes from a member of the same network, this was praised by the members there. I warn you its very graphic, but at this point I think its appropriate to remember how often times this all ends.

A college dropout and Muslim convert who threatened the creators of the "South Park" cartoon series and then tried to join an Al Qaeda-linked terrorist group in Somalia has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Zachary A. Chesser of Bristow, Va., pleaded guilty last year to supporting the al-Shabab terrorist group in Somalia and posting online threats against the "South Park" creators for an episode he perceived as insulting to the Prophet Muhammad. He was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria.

Jews were the most frequently targeted minority group in hate crimes in New York State in 2009, according to a report issued by state officials.

Anti-Jewish hate crimes rose by 15 per cent over the previous year and represented more than a third of hate crimes committed in 2009 in the state, the report issued last week by the Criminal Justices Services Division revealed.
The report came as a synagogue on the Upper West Side of Manhattan said it had received a letter on December 30 threatening to blow up the shul on New Year's Eve.

Ohab Zedek, an Orthodox congregation, was one of a dozen synagogues to receive the bomb-threat letters, Rabbi Allen Schwartz told the New York Post. "We have reasons to believe someone wants to spread fear," Mr Schwartz said.
Police evacuated the synagogue - a 1920s building known for its elaborate Moorish architecture - but found no device. They were unable to confirm the threats to other synagogues.

The state report found an across-the-board increase of about 14 per cent in hate crimes reported to the police between 2008 and 2009.

Of course this could not have been if not for the hard work of Yousef "I hope I didn't incite anyone to violence" al-Khattab and Younis Abdullah Muhammad over at Revolution Muslim.

That's quite a stack of Bad Karma the brothers over at Revmo have. Ya'll reckon its about to fall on them?

A 46-year-old Indiana grandmother is under investigation for her possible ties to suspected and convicted international terrorists, FoxNews.com has learned.

Muslim-convert Kathie Smith, 46, a U.S. citizen living in Indianapolis who has blogged about her granddaughter, last year married a suspected German jihadist, and has been flying back and forth between the U.S. and Germany as recently as two weeks ago.

A pro-jihadist video featuring Smith and her husband – alongside photos of members of the Islamic Jihad Union charged with plotting failed terror attacks against U.S. targets in Germany -- is being investigated by the Indiana Intelligence Fusion Center. The center is a counterterror intelligence clearinghouse staffed by law enforcement officers from local and federal agencies, including the FBI and Department of Homeland Security.

...On Facebook, he is "friends" with the notorious Al Qaeda English-language online magazine Inspire, thought to be principally authored by American-turned-Muslim radical Samir Khan. Salahudin also has used his online posts to call for the deaths of U.S. citizens, military and government leaders, and recently joined in on another user’s thinly veiled threats against Condoleezza Rice, according to postings discovered by FoxNews.com and screen shots provided by the Jawa Report, a watchdog blog that has been following the online activities of Smith and her husband.

Here's the video in question. I've quite a bit more here. Will add some updates.

Jihad Kathie's husband is also known as Salahudin Ibn Jafar in many places. He's a longstanding Jihadi propagandist and al-Qaeda supporter. What kind of folks does he hang out with. Well, despite his furious scrubbing of his Scribbed account the last few days. And it was way late scrubbing. We can see some familiar faces.

Among them Yousef al-Khattab of Revolution Muslim as well as Samir Khan of al-Qaeda.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) --- CBS News reports that the federal government is describing as credible an apparent al Qaeda threat to poison salad bars and buffets at American restaurants and hotels.

The network reports the Department of Homeland Security and other government agencies have already briefed representatives of the hotel and restaurant industries about the threat, which is apparently designed to include numerous poisonings over a short period of time in order to have a national impact on consumer behavior.

A spokesman for the Hotel Association of Washington tells 9News Now it has been briefed by DC police and Chief Cathy Lanier about a variety of terrorism threats, but has not received a specific warning about this particular threat to hotel and restaurant food.

CBS reports the threat apparently focuses on the poisons Riciin and Cyanide, the manufacture of which is detailed on jihadist websites.

The plot, tied to the terrorist group al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula, falls under the broader al Qaeda plan it refers to as Operation Hemorrhage which one al Qaeda website calls " attacking the enemy with smaller but more frequent operations to add a heavy economic burden to an already faltering economy."

The online al Qaeda magazine Inspire in October called for individual shooting or bombing attacks on Washington-area restaurants at lunch time to injure and kill Americans and harm the economy.

Personally given the recruits AQAP gets, I really doubt they will do any complex things involving chemicals.

But I would worry a bit about the goat, Ahmed's bathroom habits, the salad bar, and Escherichia coli.

Give to Caesar what is Ceasar's but bring me one of his salads..... and a sammich.

Here is some more on that flame war that SH posted about that Yousef had with his fellow "moderates" on the Islamic Awakening Forum two weeks ago. The infighting is classic, which seemed like the funniest thing at the time.

But now that CNN has declared Yousef a "moderate"? Pop some pop-corn, sit back, and enjoy the show as these "moderates" go at each other.

Wrong again! I still stand behind the puppet mocking dead USA occupation SOLDIERS, and you never heard me denounce Ft. Hood, and you never saw me hide behind a Kunya nor did you ever see me exceed the limits.

One of the brothers responds, and I think hits the nail squarely on the head. Also, racist! (can a Muslim be a racist? Someone call CAIR and get that clarified for me):

LOL i cant believe you can sit there and type this out with a straight face.It was you and RM that made the most noise wasn't it not? didn't your little gang go around masajid in New York after every Jumma and deliberately try to provoke debates and arguments with these Desi type Muslims who just wanted to run their 7elevens and kebab shops, not wanting any part of your pinky and the brain type global domination visions?It was you and your form of dawa that attracted these so called gullible disgruntled young brothers that you are now shedding a bucket load of crocodile tears over....

Look at you now, you had to run away from the states under a cloak of darkness, only to end up in Morocco kissing the behind of another taghoot only this time you have to perform a daily ritual of pseudo taaqiyah in order to dupe his secret police.

Pseudo taaqiyah. Yeah, I think that just about sums up the new and improved Joey "Yousef al Khattab" Cohen.

And just in case you think I'm taking Yousef out of context, one of the bros asks the clarifying question:

So are you saying you agree with Anwar Al Awlaki that Nidal Hassan did the right thing?

And Yousef answers:

Actually I was the first one to say I love Maj Hasan before the brand name you mentioned above did in the press. I said openly and proudly that I love Maj. Hasan and the patriot act forbids me from praising acts of "terrorism". Major Hasan hafthillah went out of his way NOT to hit civilians. I disagree with Anwar's new methodology and conclusions.

That is, Awlaki's calls this year to kill American civilians he considers outside the pale. Killing American soldiers? That's cool.

And adding insult to injury, his buddies that went abroad to fight are cool, too:

I have a lot more sympathy for those that went abroad to fight USAmerican aggressions (though I may disagree with many of their methodologies) than I would a person that is accused of willing wanting to blowup civilians in the USA.

Is that clear enough for you? To Yousef, being a "moderate" means he no longer supports acts of terror directed at civilians -- be they American or otherwise.

But he still supports killing American military personnel, which in his mind makes him a moderate.

To me, that just makes him a "traitor".

But maybe treason is what passes for a "moderate Muslim" these days at CNN?

And Youssef: Enjoy college. You'll fit right in with some of your professors who also want American soldiers killed.

PS-In the same thread we find Zach Chesser's wife still hanging out with the supporters of violent jihad. Isn't this a violation of her plea agreement?

Two US Hercules planes carrying 18 tons of firefighting material have landed at Ben Gurion International Airport. US ambassador to Israel James Cunningham who was present when they arrived promised this assistance was just the beginning, saying further aid would arrive Monday including a tactical team.

Israeli diplomatic missions in capitals around the world are continuing in their efforts to accelerate international assistance to enable the country to cope with the disaster. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has established a situations room with representatives from the Israel Air Force, the National Emergency Authority, the firefighting services and other agencies.

Following is the current situation according to the data received in the MFA’s situation room:

Twenty one aircraft and helicopters have arrived in Israel. Of these, thirteen are actively engaged in extinguishing the blaze.

An additional thirteen planes are expected to land in Israel today, Saturday 4 December 2010:

The United States: 2 Hercules planes originating from the US Air Force base in Germany, expected to land at approximately 1800 hours at Ben Gurion Airport. They are expected to carry fire retardant materials and other essential equipment.[Landed...ed]
Russia: 2 helicopters
France: 2 firefighting aircraft
Spain: 4 firefighting aircraft and an additional cargo plane
Azerbaijan: 2 helicopters
Switzerland: 1 helicopter

Tomorrow, Sunday 5 December, an additional 3 planes from the US and one from Canada are expected to arrive.

Worlds largest firefighting plane from the US, the Evergreen, is expected to land overnight tonight. I don't know if that is included in the 3 mentioned above.YNet

The Evergreen Supertanker, the world's largest aerial firefighting plane, was expected to land in Israel on Saturday night and join the fire extinguishing efforts. The American plane, which has a capacity of 80,000 liters of water, is capable of operating in the night as well – as opposed to other firefighting aircraft.

Israel will pay a heavy price - some $200,000 an hour – for failing to purchase firefighting planes throughout the years.

Many in the Arab world seem to be happy with the big fire that has been raging in northern Israel over the past few days.

Judging from comments of readers in response to the blaze in several leading Arab media outlets and websites, a majority believe that God is “punishing” Israel for occupying Arab lands and killing Palestinians, especially during Operation cast Lead in the Gaza Strip[...]

Many Arabs also strongly condemned Egypt and Jordan for agreeing to help in extinguishing the blaze.

Others called on Israel’s enemies, particularly Iran, Hamas and Hizbullah to seize the opportunity and try to wipe Israel off the face of earth. Only a few readers and viewers expressed sympathy with Israel over the tragedy and the loss of many lives[...]

May Allah punish all Arabs who helped put down the fire. We pray to Allah that the fire will grow and spread to oil wells in the Arab world.”

“O’ Allah, burn them [Jews] before the Day of Judgement. O’ Allah, destroy them and all the enemies of Islam.”

“May Allah take revenge against them and displace them together with our corrupt [Arab] governments.”

“This is the right time for Iran. If one fire has caused panic in the Zionist entity, where are Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Nasrallah? And where is Syria? One rocket could set thousands of fires.”

“Allah gives time, but never neglects. The Israelis are being punished for their deeds. We hope their end is nearing.”

CNN) -- A 19-year-old has been arrested in connection with a plot to detonate a vehicle bomb at an annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon, on Friday evening, the Justice Department announced.

Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Somalia, was arrested on suspicion of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. He is a resident of Corvallis, Oregon, and is a student at Oregon State University, according to the FBI.

Mohamud was arrested by the FBI and Portland Police Bureau after he attempted to detonate what he believed to be an explosives-laden van that was parked near the tree-lighting ceremony in Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square, the Justice

Department said in a written statement, but the device was actually inert.

"The threat was very real. Our investigation shows that Mohamud was absolutely committed to carrying out an attack on a very grand scale," said Arthur Balizan, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Oregon. "At the same time, I want to reassure the people of this community that, at every turn, we denied him the ability to actually carry out the attack."

The arrest was the culmination of a long-term undercover operation during which Mohamud had been monitored closely for months as his alleged bomb plot developed, the Justice Department said. Officials said the public was never in danger from the device.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit written by an FBI special agent, in August 2009, Mohamud was in e-mail communication with a person believed to be involved in terrorist activities. In December, that person was "located in the northwest frontier province of Pakistan," the affidavit states.

The two communicated regularly, the affidavit states, and "using coded language, they discussed the possibility of Mohamud traveling to Pakistan to prepare for violent jihad."

Mohamud attempted to contact another associate who he thought would help facilitate his travel overseas, the affidavit states, but "because Mohamud used the wrong e-mail address in his efforts to contact [the second associate], he never successfully contacted him to arrange travel."

Follow ups when we get them...

UPDATE (Hetz Shahor): Two words: Samir Khan.

From the same CNN report:

An undercover FBI employee contacted Mohamud in June under the guise of being affiliated with the associate who was in Pakistan, according to the affidavit. Mohamud met with the undercover operative on July 30 in Portland.

Mohamud allegedly told the undercover operative that he had written articles that were published in Jihad Recollections, an online magazine that advocated violent jihad.

UPDATE: Image added because I don't think you realize just how gay* this is until you actually see it. And I mean flaming.

*I actually feel bad calling Ibn al-Mubarak, the author of this particular article, a queerbag. Not so much because calling someone a fag dehumanizes homosexuals -- which it does, and that's why I feel slightly bad -- but because it humanizes terrorist scumbags like al-Mubarak too much to compare them to homesexuals.

But they hate being called gay almost as much as they fear the vagina, so apologies to the gay community but I think I'm going to continue to use the term as a pejorative in cases such as these.

I'd call them vermin but that's way too insulting to vermin, and not nearly as insulting to the jihadis.

Thanks to Barbarossa

Also:

Mohamud yelled "Allahu Akbar!" -- Arabic for "God is Great!" -- and kicked at federal agents as they arrested him[Jihad Recollections jihadi workout...lulz...ed], The Associated Press quoted prosecutors as saying. He's been charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, and is expected to appear in federal court in Portland on Monday.

You may recall that loony Portland officials several years ago threatened to pull out of the Joint Terrorism Task Force under the Bush administration and refused to cooperate with federal efforts to conduct voluntary interviews of of local Muslims in order to uncover terrorist plots.

You may also recall the Portland 7, black Muslim converts convicted in a conspiracy to wage war against the United States, provide material support and resources to Al Qaeda and contribute services to Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Thanks to Fred Beloit

Update III by SH: Booking info below fold...me thinks he is a very skinny ghey jihadi. Did Sammy hog all the fattening food Ibnul Mubarak?

Lebanese police have arrested radical Islamic preacher Omar Bakri, just days after the formerly British-based cleric boasted he would "not spend one day" of a life sentence behind bars.

He now faces a retrial because his first trial was held in absentia.

"He was arrested by a patrol of intelligence agents from the Internal Security Force in his home in Tripoli," a security official told AFP.

Police said Bakri tried to flee in a car as the patrol closed in on his house in the main northern city on Sunday, prompting an officer to open fire to prevent him from escaping.

"As the patrol went to arrest him... he tried to flee. A member of the security forces opened fire and two bullets hit the back tyres" of Bakri's getaway vehicle, a police statement said.

He was duly arrested and transferred to Beirut, police said

A judicial source told AFP that Bakri must be retried before a military court in line with Lebanese law because he was sentenced in absentia.

Bakri, a fundamentalist Sunni Muslim who has praised the September 11, 2001 attacks and hailed the hijackers as the "magnificent 19", was sentenced to life by a military court on Thursday.

The 50-year-old, who lived in Britain for 20 years, was found guilty, along with more than 40 other Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians and Saudis, of "incitement to murder, theft and the possession of arms and explosives".

The day after the sentence was handed down he vowed he would "not spend one day in prison".

Fingers crossed he will finally spend the rest of his miserable ROPMA life in prison.

Some may be a bit reluctant to accept Yousef's change of heart to say the least. But so long as he's not making war on me or my country, he's free to be as he chooses, to worship as he chooses, and to raise his family as best he can.

In this I wish him the best.

Why? Well I'd much rather someone realize this before its too late and do well, rather than what has happened to Zach Chesser who is facing 20 years of wasted life in the pen.

Anyway this is just Howie's opinion, not an official editorial opinion of the Jawa Report.

UPDATE by Rusty: Is it better to be feared or loved? Apparently, feared. As in, Joey fears his cornhole's ownership being transferred to his future cellmate.

Why the change of heart? Dude, his buddy Zach was just convicted of inciting violence. This is something Yousef did nearly every day on Revolution Muslim. The only difference being that Zach gave specific recommendations on what kind of violence to commit while Yousef only gave general applause to random acts of terror by others.

Yousef al-Khattab was every bit the terrorist enabler, and much worse than Zachary Chesser. Much, much worse.

It's going to take more than throwing Revolution Muslim under the bus to repent of Joey's sins. Dozens and dozens of would-be terrorists were directly inspired by him. It's too late now for simple "I'm sorries".

Every one is sorry when they get caught. As more and more of those associated with Revolution Muslim are arrested, I'm sure that Yousef will feel even more sorry.

Update(Matt Damon): I'm not feeling it for Joey...who espoused hatred for this country.....sorry Joey you can't repent being a traitor.... there is no grey area.

TEMPLE-RASTON: It sounds innocent enough, but a list of Revolution Muslim's members reads like a who's who of American homegrown terrorism suspects. One has been arrested for wanting to launch an attack on the Long Island Railroad for al-Qaida; others were intercepted getting on flights to join a terrorist group in Somalia. The editor of an online magazine for al-Qaida's arm in Yemen was a regular in the Revolution Muslim chat rooms. And Jihad Jane, the Philadelphia woman arrested last year, was a Revolution Muslim devotee too.

Of the two dozen homegrown plots in this country in the past year, Revolution Muslim was linked to a third of them. Khattab says the group isn't to blame.

Mr. KHATTAB: Certainly I never told anybody to go overseas, never told anybody to break any laws.

UpdateThere are some "rap" Islamofacist a**holes on JihadTube. I know, I have commented on their channels such as this one: SimoBigg.

Back to why I updated. Notice the bloody Talmud and the Israeli police in vid. They were cleaning up after a horrific terrorist attack ('08) at a religious school Mercaz Harav, 8 students died. Videos below fold for those unaware.

When Joey Cohen (aka Yousef al Khattab) was Amir of Revolution Muslims he made mocking videos/images of the attack using the bloody Talmud, etc.

Warning, heartbreaking images.

NSFW

Bloody Talmud towards end of this vid:

Now, righterthanyou, IW, etc. tell me again how the Jews are evil & Islam is peaceful...douchbags.

MADRID – Spanish police say that for the first time they have broken up a human-trafficking gang that brought men to the country to work as prostitutes, providing them with Viagra, cocaine and other stimulant drugs to be available for sex with other men 24 hours a day.

Joey had to give Younus half his earnings and a daily freebie, and pay for rent and food in the apartment where they worked.
